What could be going on here?  I can't pull from `git://` as I'm behind
a firewall.

It pretty much looks like the firewall doesn't let you directly access
HTTP as well. You may need to use your proxy, and you (seem to) need to
set the environment variable 'http_proxy="http://10.0.0.1:3128"' to
point to your proxy. Google will take you from there, like
